Aging seems to involve a loss of strength, energy, and vitality for many older adult patients. As you watch your older patients suffer from a loss of muscle mass and weakness, you feel helpless and frustrated because you know they are at increased risk for injury. Strength training has been shown to improve muscle strength and coordination, helping to maintain functional capacity and independence. It is possible to reverse and prevent the decreases in strength and energy your patients are experiencing by including appropriate strength training programs in your therapy plan.

Strategies to easily design safe and effective strength programs for every adult can be learned. The information you need to help the most challenging patients is here. Strength training can help you reduce the symptoms of metabolic diseases and arthritis in your patients.

1. Evaluate when weakness, deconditioning, poor posture, faulty movement habits, and poor core stability may be a problem
2. Design effective interventions for functional strength and balance within the current limitations of each injury or chronic disease
3. Adapt traditional exercises for those with orthopedic limitations due to injury or disease
4. Apply strength training principles to enhance patient outcomes
5. Construct effective programs for the most common injuries we see combined with the most common “lifestyle” conditions that accompany them
6. Compare the risks vs. benefits of specific evidenced-based exercise programs to guide decision making for patients
